This 26-month double barrel aged stout is one of those beers you're not gonna want to share! It's got that old school flavor with a new school twist. A delightful, boozy mélange of bourbon and brandy intertwines with rich baker's chocolate, toasted oak, and layers of creamy caramel. Undeniably smooth at 16.7% abv. Sip and savor.

On tap at MBCC 2025 (Yellow session), pours black with a small brown head. Aroma has intense bourbon barrels, big woody oak, and moderate roast. Flavour is very barrel-forward, with intense woody barrels, huge bourbon, deep roast, and a touch of vanilla. Drier than usual for 3 Sons, but this works beautifully.
